Here's why we need to stop handing the BBC free money

[Thomas]

The BBC is openly biased in favour of the Establishment, nothing else, as it always has been; and various personalities on it (if you can call them that) try to induce and convince folks into supporting one part of the Establishment or the other.

i would agree with that to a certain degree dynamis , but dont forget this old blog from about 6 years ago regarding the labour party and bbc scotland.......

Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive: BBC Scotland and the Labour Party

The Family resides in Glasgow and is presided over by Ken McQuarrie. Ken MacQuarrie's Head of News at BBC Scotland is John, John Boothman. John is married to Susan, Susan is Susan Deacon. Susan is a former Labour MSP and Health Minister at Holyrood.

Ken's Head of Online News is Tom, Tom Connor. Tom and John are said to have offered media training to Labour Party wannabe politicians. Tom's department operates BBC Scotland blogs; infamous for their ban on public comments, unlike any other part of the UK.

Another Tom is Tom McCabe. Tom is a member of the Scottish Labour Party and used to be an MSP. Tom also used to be the partner of Lorraine, Lorraine Davidson. Lorraine's career has swung between the Labour Party and the BBC. She used to be a spin-doctor – with the Labour Party or was it the BBC? Not too sure on that one. Lorraine became a weel-kent voice on BBC Scotland frequently ushered in to air her views on all the big issues of the day. Lorraine is now married to David.

David is David Martin and he's a Labour Party MEP. David Martin is friends with Catriona, Catriona Renton. Catriona loves politics which is good because that's what she covers as a BBC Scotland reporter. Catriona was a Labour councillor in Glasgow with ambitions to become an MSP but sadly didn't get elected in 2003. Catriona is a friendly sort of lady with Facebook chums the likes of Jackie Baillie ( herself a very friendly lady who is also chums with Gary Robertson and Alan Clements hubby of Kirsty Wark ), Yousuf Hamid, Tom Harris, Mike Dailly, Frank McAveety, John Robertson, John Park, Steven Purcell, Dave Watson – is there Labour person Catriona isn't chummy with?

BBC chief too close to Labour, claims ex-colleague

THE head of BBC Scotland's newsroom has been attacked by one of his former journalists over his connections to Labour in the run up to next year's independence referendum.



John Boothman, the head of news, has come under fire from retired broadcaster Derek Bateman who said in his blog that his strong past links to the pro-United Kingdom party are a liability in today's Scotland.

i would agree that the bbc in England are an establishment mouthpiece , but there can be no doubt whatsoever that the bbc in scotland are in the back pockets of the labour party and have been for years.

Storm in a recyclable cup,I laughed when Trump got in and I laugh at his refusal to sod off gracefully.

That the world superpower can in a short space of time are only able to present for the highest office two such characters is worthy of laughing or indeed blubbing.

Even as little as twenty years ago, the BBC would never dare be this openly biased.


Today, it is 'news' that their chief leftie in the nature section cried and applauded when Biden got in.


There were once standards....

Frankly I can't see your problem.

You didn't say shit when he came out with this bollocks.

He is a Brexiter and openly flew his colours, just like Andrew Neil openly flew his right-wing colours among numerous others on the BBC.

The BBC is openly biased in favour of the Establishment, nothing else, as it always has been; and various personalities on it (if you can call them that) try to induce and convince folks into supporting one part of the Establishment or the other. You are part of one side of the Establishment.

Smart people want no part in any of it; I won't say such folks want to "burn it to the ground" because that sounds Trumpish, and that's no good, but they want everything changed from the ground up and refuse to take one side or another and won't stand for any of it. Nor do they care what others think.

I wasn't aware he'd said it.


If I'd seen it I'd have probably wondered why he was saying it ...


Because frankly I'm not convinced he meant a word of that.
